Menéndez Blanco, Andrés; González Álvarez, David; Álvarez Martínez, Valentín, Jiménez Chaparro, Jesús Ignacio (2011): New evidence of Roman military presence at the western end of the Cantabrian Mountains. Gallaecia, 30: 145-165. This work presents two new archaeological sites from the western end of the Cantabrian Cordillera, in the confluence of the provincial boundaries of Asturias, Leon and Galicia. Their characteristics allow us to recognise them as aestive crust or temporary camps built by the troops in the course of their campaign movements. Their location leads us to believe that these sites could be archaeological evidence of Bellum Asturicum in a territory considered until now to be the periphery of the conflict by the majority of authors. ; Peer reviewed ; Menéndez Blanco, Andrés; González Álvarez, David; Álvarez Martínez, Valentín, Jiménez Chaparro, Jesús Ignacio (2011): New evidence of Roman military presence at the western end of the Cantabrian Mountains.
